Replace [Y] [M] [C] [K] Toner Cartridge or 
[Y] [M] [C] [K] Toner Is Low
An empty cartridge (Code 202~205), a metered cartridge installed in a non-metered 
printer, an unsupported high-capacity cartridge (Code 224~227), or a fatal error 
within the cartridge or printer can cause this error condition. Check for an error code 
in the help text prior to troubleshooting this error message. For codes 90~99, a 
different troubleshooting procedure is provided on (
page 3-48). 
When no jobs are being sent to the printer, the [Y] [M] [C] [K] Toner Cartridge 
Empty message displays on the Control Panel. This warning allows continued 
printing in black and white (Run Black) mode for a short period of time. Once the 
color cartridges are empty, the message changes to Replace [Y] [M] [C] [K] Toner 
Cartridge, and the printer enters a hard stop condition.
